Or perhaps “The Real Dayuling Tea” is more fitting. Let’s get this straight first: the shopkeeper doesn’t sell this Dayuling tea, and the tea estate owner is very low-profile, so please don’t message the shopkeeper asking for their location or phone number. First, let’s explain why this is “real Dayuling tea.” The traditional Dayuling tea
The shop manager last visited the Li Ah-chun Tea Garden in October 2015, shortly before the Forestry Bureau reclaimed the land. For tea lovers unfamiliar with Dayuling, the 104K Li Ah-chun Tea Garden was once Taiwan’s highest tea plantation, reaching an incredible elevation of 2,650 meters. This trip was meant to check if the tea
By August 15th, a large portion of the Cuifeng, Cingjing, Songgang, and Meifeng autumn teas has already been harvested. Industry peers who haven’t stocked up yet should act fast—this year’s Cuifeng and Cingjing teas are truly “exceptional in both quality and quantity,” and you’d be doing yourself a disservice not to buy a bit more.
While visiting the tea region recently, our store manager had quite an eye-opening experience, this time regarding the rent for farmland in Lishan. How much do you think a 582-square-meter plot of deep mountain farmland goes for in annual rent, given that it’s a 30-minute walk from the main road and accessible only by muddy
If you want traffic online, keywords are everything. Lately, two of the most talked-about spots in Taiwan are undoubtedly A-Tang Congee and Liao Lao-Da’s tea franchise, so the store manager is jumping on the bandwagon too. /*! elementor – v3.7.8 – 02-10-2022 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block} A-Tang Congee recently raised its prices, with
The winter tea in the Malieba and Cuiluan tea regions is growing better than that in the main Lishan tea region. While it’s not quite a bumper harvest, yields have held steady, and the leaf thickness is quite good. The store manager is rather optimistic about this year’s winter tea from Malieba and Cuiluan. /*!
I visited the Cuifeng tea plantation to check on the winter harvest over the past couple of days. The plots sitting between 1,900 and 2,100 meters will be ready to pick in about a week. What’s more surprising is that many tea gardens below 1,900 meters have just started sprouting. Whether it’s due to a
With northern Taiwan experiencing a week of continuous rain, many tea lovers up north have been messaging the shopkeeper to ask if the winter harvest will be affected. Rest assured, everyone—Lishan, Heping District in Taichung, and Ren’ai Township in Nantou have all enjoyed great weather over the past few days, making conditions ideal for harvesting
For all of you who have been waiting patiently for LongFengXia, the shop manager has found the good stuff—LongFengXia Winter Tea is definitely making an appearance. On top of that, we have a surprise: after a long absence, Budongyu is making its comeback! /*! elementor – v3.7.8 – 02-10-2022 */ .elementor-widget-image{text-align:center}.elementor-widget-image a{display:inline-block}.elementor-widget-image a img[src$=”.svg”]{width:48px}.elementor-widget-image img{vertical-align:middle;display:inline-block}
I visited the Cueifeng tea plantation again these past couple of days. Just like in the Lishan tea region, well-managed tea gardens have already applied their winter base fertilizer. Now, it’s just a matter of letting the tea plants slowly absorb the nutrients and build up enough energy so the spring harvest will have incredible
High mountain cherry blossoms have been blooming everywhere lately, and any fully blossomed cherry tree in the mountains is simply breathtaking. I once heard a saying: “When cherry blossoms bloom, the tea plants end their dormancy and wake up.” Looking at the growth cycle of tea plants, that really seems to be the case. No
When it comes to web traffic, keywords are everything. The undisputed traffic king of the Taiwan tea world is none other than Dayuling tea. Today, we’re riding the Dayuling wave once again, this time featuring the 105K tea plantation, also known as the Truffle tea plantation. As we mentioned last year, even though the Dayuling
An essential task in tea plantation management is “moss removal,” which involves clearing the moss growing on the tea trees. These parasitic plants steal nutrients from the tea trees, and once a tea tree lacks nutrients, the tea will taste bland and weak. Therefore, professional tea plantation managers treat moss removal as a top priority.
It poured in northern Taiwan on Monday, and the weather forecast predicted a chance of rain in Lishan over the next couple of days. Eager to share in the joy of the upcoming rain with local tea farmers, our store manager headed up the mountain excitedly on March 13th. To everyone’s disappointment, only a light
At the end of April, our store manager visited the tea plantations in the Ruan’an tea district of Zhushan Township. Along the Tou 49 township road at elevations between 800 and 1,000 meters, many tea gardens had already finished harvesting. The highest Ruan’an tea district at the end of the route has also entered its
